Selling your home in or near Bexar County? Contact Ed Gray Associates and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. You see, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.
A home is only worth the price another person is willing to give you.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few Texas homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, it's very difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sound selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer

Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out

Call attention to any issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing

Decrease the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to backslide

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is more than they originally believed.
So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected.
Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while getting nothing done.
